Incompetent and Unprofessional - Staff Require Retraining

I rang up and cancelled my order 3 minutes after ordering as I accidentally selected the wrong card on PayPal.

The staff member said it was cancelled and refunded to the card. I asked if I could pay again over the phone with the correct card he said no order it online again.

I asked if I would get a notification of the cancellation and refund and he said maybe from PayPal but otherwise no.

I reordered and paid again.

I noticed I had not received a refund but assumed it was maybe a delay because of the weekend or my card provider.

Both orders then turned up costing a total of £234. I rang again and told them I had separated the orders and the one that was supposed to be cancelled was ready for collection. I was told collection would be today and the refund should have been processed. I also sent an email stating the same so this was recorded.

It wasn’t collected and 5 full days have now passed. I rang again and was told it hadn’t been collected as the driver said it was too heavy and the staff member noted ‘they were just being lazy’. The orders were packed exactly as sent. I hadn’t made them ‘too heavy’ and had only moved them and stacked them.

I asked why I hadn’t been refunded as I was told 5 days ago and he said they never refunded until goods were collected.

I stated it was impossible that the goods were already dispatched 3 minutes after ordering them when I first cancelled, they obviously hadn’t actioned the cancellation or the refund. He refused to admit this at first even though it was an obvious lie. Instead of just apologising and assuming that although I made the mistake in the first place, I did in fact cancel and was assured it was cancelled within 3 minutes of ordering he repeated this lie over and over again.

Eventually he bothered to read the past phone calls and agreed (for the third time) to make the refund and admitted the order was not despatched when I first rang to cancel.

He would not record a complaint though, refused to get a manager to contact me, refused to contact the driver and suggested I wait at home tomorrow so they could arrange another collection, presumably with the lazy driver.

These staff are utterly incompetent, a minor issue has now turned into me losing £117, contacting GWD repeatedly for 6 days and having now to take two days off work with potentially no chance of this being resolved.

Reply from Garden Wildlife Direct

Thanks for the review. I'm sorry to hear that the order cancellation was not succesful, this is being looked into. I can see that the order has been refunded in full, with additional points being added as an apology, which although I know won't make up for all of the trouble, we do hope it goes some way in making it better, In addition I can see that the Manager call did take place very soon after requested on the same day. I'm sorry to hear that the experience wasn't up to our usual high standards and please be assured that the relevant people will be made aware of this and if any additional training is deemed to be required it will be carried out, plus it will be fed back to DPD regarding the failed collections. We rely on feedback like this to make out service even better and I am so sorry again for the trouble with this. Kind Regards, Garden Wildlife Direct

I've placed two orders with Garden Wildlife Direct. Both times my parcel arrived really quickly. They have great products and the prices are good. My garden birds are very happy with the food and I will definitely order again.

Faultless 5*****

I made a big order of different kinds of bird seed for my many varieties of little feathered friends and our happy hedgehogs, who visit the garden throughout the day and night throughout the seasons. It gives me great joy and warms my heart to sit at the kitchen window with a cup of coffee and to watch them fly in and out to feed and water and to rest a while and they also bring their babies each year too. It's the therapy that lifts the soul 😇🐦🦔🐿🐾 This lovely company took the order late evening on line and it was delivered in less than 48hours without problem. Good communication on updates from ordering to dispatch to delivery. There was also the added bonus of 25% off, free delivery and money collected on the order for when I order again. A faultless transaction, Thank you!

Great Service, Great Value

We ordered some nuts for the birds in the garden from Garden Wildlife Direct. They had by far the best price available and the service was wonderful. The delivery arrived by return. I would highly recommend this firm.
